Lived in Rockford area since: I was born in Rockford and attended Rockford Public Schools and Rockford College.

Transform Rockford involvement: I originally heard about TR in October of last year and became a member of the TR Analysis team in November.

The importance of shared values: Reaching out into every facet of the community is vital to the success of TR. We need to identify the needs of the community at large and ensure that everyone’s voice is heard, so that everyone’s needs can be met. The revitalization of the Rockford area is no small task. All of us have a role to play.
